Chapter VII: Run

Hui'er looked into the east room several times, and then returned to the west room lightly, and whispered to Cao Lihuan: "I'm still embroidering, I haven't even raised my head, I look like an honest person." ”

Cao Lihuan sneered: "This is just coming, of course you have to be diligent for two days, who knows what will happen in the future." ”

Hui'er frowned and said: "She looks too eye-catching, so I rushed to this face, I'm afraid that I can't stay down-to-earth, I don't know what background she is?" Bought? Or is it home-born? "She has a yellow complexion, a fat body, and is so beautiful and pretty, so when she looks at Xianglan Yuxue's face and slender figure, her heart is pantothenic.

"Yingshuang sued me, she is a family child, and her father is the third shopkeeper of an antique shop." Cao Lihuan took a sip of tea, "Such a person is not up or down, but it is a little decent, and it is easy to handle, so you don't have to worry about slaves and bullying the master." ”

Hui'er smiled and said: "My good girl, don't say it's Diao Nu, even the ancestor of Diao Nu, you have to bow down in front of you." ”

Cao Lihuan looked colorful, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, turned her head to Huai Rui and said, "You two will keep an eye on her more in the future." He said with annoyance: "Zhao Yuechan's dead thing, I also gave her a pair of fine jade bracelets in vain, and actually gave me a girl who had just entered the house and had not been trained!" ”

Huai Rui said: "This is also said that it took a long time to send one." ”

Hui'er took a piece of cake and said while chewing: "Who said no, but the only one we can talk to is the grandmother, so it's better to send one than nothing." ”

Cao Lihuan still had a calm face, and sneered: "I have the right to endure it, when I get married, I must take revenge, and there is no good thing in the entire Lin family!" ”

"Who's to say no? Our girl is a wonderful one! Hui'er insisted on painting flowers and birds clay pots to add tea to Cao Lihuan, and glanced at Huairui.

Huai Rui smiled and said: "No, these sisters in the house, all bundled together, there are no girls who are talented, good-looking, shrewd and capable." ”

This sentence went straight to Cao Lihuan's heart, the corners of her mouth couldn't hide the smile, but she sighed: "I just didn't have a good baby, my father was sick in bed in the early years, and there were so many children in the family, and I was the only one who served in front of the sickbed. ”

Hui'er said: "Speaking of this, I'm also awkward, just by the girl's appearance, if the lord and wife are still there, and the people who come to ask for marriage don't kick through the threshold, what can't be found, now...... Alas, I also wronged the girl. ”

"The Ren family is not bad, a few days ago, when the Ren family sent a carriage to the house, I also saw Ren Gongzi, who is a talent, the Ren family has a simple population, the girl marries the past, just serve the old lady and sister-in-law of the Ren family, and the sister-in-law will marry again in two years, and after two years, the old lady will turn her head, and the family will be quiet and quiet, much better than marrying those big families." Huai Rui said, Cao Lihuan nodded, and her face improved.

Nothing happened for a while.

Before dinner, Xianglan sent an embroidered handkerchief to Cao Lihuan. Cao Lihuan saw that a piece of embroidery was done so quickly, and couldn't help but be surprised, and took a closer look, only to see that the stitches were symmetrical and delicate, and the color matching was elegant, although it was a small embroidery, it was extremely bright.

She was satisfied, and her earlier dissatisfaction with Xianglan was also lightened by two points, but she felt that she couldn't show her cleverness if she didn't point out some problems, so she picked a few places that were "not well embroidered", and said: "Although the embroidery is fast, you can't blindly try to be fast, but you have to embroider well." My needlework is taught by the best embroidery lady in Yuzhou, and when I was seven or eight years old, I embroidered better than you embroider now. ”

As soon as the words came out, he felt a little inappropriate, and said with a smile: "Huairui's needlework can't see people, Hui'er has a lot of things, you practice the needlework well, you will have your day, not to mention that in the house, the girl who does a good needlework always has the master's blue eyes." You just came, you don't understand anything, and it's also a kind person like me who reminds you of it, and other masters don't care if the girl lives or dies. ”

Xianglan had already figured out Cao Lihuan's temperament a little, and said in her heart: "This cousin girl is pretentious, she likes to praise the high and step on the low, and she is not a good person, so I will just say a few words to her." Then he said with trepidation: "Thank you girl for your concern, it's my fate to meet a master like the girl." ”

Cao Lihuan really smiled, picked out a piece of dim sum that she didn't like to eat very much from the plate in front of her, handed it to Xianglan and said: "You have worked hard all afternoon, this dim sum is specially left for you by me, just eat a piece and rest." ”

Xianglan took the snack and said with a smile: "Thank you girl, I'll go back to embroidery." ”

As soon as she went out, the smile on Xianglan's face disappeared immediately, she walked straight to the bamboo forest next to Luo Xuewu, raised the white crisp in her hand and looked at it, a mocking smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and murmured: "I clearly heard her shouting in the house this afternoon: 'This white skin crisp osmanthus candy is too much, it is too sweet, I want to vomit after eating, Huairui, you take the remaining two pieces out and feed them to the dog, and the dog will throw them into the pool to feed the fish if they don't eat them.'" I painstakingly embroidered a handkerchief, but I didn't have a thoughtful word, but I was rewarded with a piece of snack that dogs didn't like to eat, and said that it was "Te left it for me" and that this cousin was really "good, big, and square." I took a big bite of the dim sum, only to feel a sweet, oily and greasy smell rushing to the top of my head, making me want to vomit.

Xianglan chewed a few bites hard, swallowed the dim sum hard, and said to herself: "Chen Xianglan, you have to remember the taste of this dim, you have to endure such humiliation for a day as a slave of others." But you shouldn't be such a life, you must be tempted to forbear, cultivate patience and humiliation, be calm, get out of the country as soon as possible, and be decent so that no one can despise you! ”

She stood in the bamboo forest for a while, watching the sky dyed orange sunset, quietly listening to the sound of gurgling water, silently reciting the "Great Compassion Mantra" twice, the breeze blew in through the window, brushed her cheeks, and blew away the last trace of mania in her heart, she took a few deep breaths, straightened her clothes, and walked back slowly.

On the morning of the second day, Cao Lihuan took out the red satin, traced the pattern and asked Xianglan to embroider a pair of pillowcases for mandarin ducks playing in the water, and there were red wedding dresses and Baizi clothes, etc., the colors were complicated, and it took a lot of effort.

Xianglan was dumbfounded, and said secretly: "These are all necessary things for marriage, they should have been sewn by the young lady who has not been out of the cabinet, and the craftsmanship is too poor before the parents are prepared, please ask a few embroidery girls to rush to work, how can this cousin give me a lot of work?" When will it take to finish embroidering? I'm alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to embroider for three years. ”

Cao Lihuan said: "The work is here, you just do it." After speaking, he asked Hui'er to accompany the elders to say goodbye.

Xianglan can't, so she has to bury her head in threading the needle, there is a lot of work, and Cao Lihuan is the master of the picky abnormality, a little unwilling, so she asked Xianglan to cut and redo, and at the end she had to reprimand a few words, "Clumsy, the girl Xiaoyuan who was in charge of needlework next to me was a hundred times more clever than you", "You are stupid and slow, Xiaoyuan is much faster than you, two pillowcases, and a whole magpie Dengmei quilt, only half a year of hard work to do it", after each training, he smiled and said seriously: "I do this for your good, If other masters train people as carefully as I do, they will know my benefits in the future. ”

Xianglan heard this and made a stupid and honest appearance, "sincerely" and said: "I know that Miss Huan is for my good." "I only swallowed the grievances and blindly pretended to be stupid.

Xianglan has an easy-going temperament, and is obedient and weak, she will not be lazy and slippery in her work, her hands and feet are nimble, and she has few words in Luo Xuewu, and after two or three days, she feels honest and deceitful, and she has to call her no matter what she does. "Xianglan, help me fan the stove." "Xianglan, you take a rag and wipe all the windows." "Xianglan, why didn't the girl's soup come over?" "Xianglan, the girl said she was going to wear bean-green clothes, you go and rummage through the cupboard." "Xianglan, go wash the handkerchief and sew the purse again." The list goes on. Because she is new, it is inevitable that she will make mistakes in her busy schedule, and she will inevitably be scolded.

Xianglan Town is busy like a spinning top, and often adds another thing without doing it. When Cao Lihuan assigned the work, she also handed over the easy and easy work to Hui'er and Huairui, and handed over the clumsy and impatient work to Xianglan. She asked Hui'er to accompany her around the garden all day long, chatting about who wears a good-looking hairpin, which family's fragrant powder is good, and who wears clothes and how to line the skin color, talking and laughing, and making trouble. Huairui disappeared from time to time, slipped out to hide, and Cao Lihuan also opened her eyes and closed her eyes.

Gradually, whenever Xianglan did her job, or cooked soup in the tea room, or made needlework, Hui'er grabbed it and said, "Okay, you can rest, I'll just take it in." Then he took something to Cao Lihuan to flatter and flatter, Cao Lihuan was naturally satisfied, so he would reward some small things, and then arrange other work, as soon as Hui'er came out, he threw the work to Xianglan.

Xianglan endured it silently, only buried herself in her work, and didn't say a word.
